Welcome to Amplifire, Corrie Halas: Our New VP of Clinical Learning

We’re thrilled to announce that Corrie Halas has joined Amplifire as Vice President of Clinical Education. With nearly two decades of frontline and leadership experience spanning bedside care, clinical education, and operational leadership, Corrie brings the exact perspective our Healthcare Alliance Community needs as they navigate workforce challenges and transform clinical training.

Where Education Meets Operations

Corrie’s journey to Amplifire reflects a career spent at the intersection of what matters most in healthcare: safer patient care and confident, competent clinicians. After almost 10 years at the bedside, she gravitated toward roles where education drives measurable operational improvement.  Building on her foundation as a nurse educator, she advanced into operational leadership and ultimately into healthcare technology. In her role as a regional nurse executive and clinical healthcare strategist, she worked alongside health system leaders to solve the industry’s most dynamic workforce management challenges balancing workforce volatility, and the relentless demand for efficiency and excellence.

“Those experiences translating frontline realities into measurable programs, aligning clinical priorities with budget constraints, and coaching new nurse leaders are the backbone of my work at Amplifire today,” Corrie shares.

Why Amplifire?

Two things drew Corrie to Amplifire: the science and the results.

“I’m fascinated by the brain science behind our adaptive learning solution,” she explains. “The neuroscience-based approach, validated over millions of learner interactions, aligned perfectly with my passion for safer, smarter care delivery. It’s what sets us apart from anything else in the market and really changes the learning game.”

But the science alone wasn’t enough. Corrie was equally compelled by the real-world outcomes our healthcare partners achieve from dramatic reductions in training time to measurable improvements in patient safety metrics.

“The results our customers publish from various use cases speak for themselves,” she notes. “I’m excited to see what challenges we can mitigate that lead to transformation in healthcare from our learning methodology.”

A Vision Rooted in Impact

Corrie’s vision for clinical education at Amplifire is straightforward: deliver safer care, faster by turning learning signals into clinical outcomes leaders can see, measure, and scale.

In practice, that means confidence-calibrated, adaptive learning that closes the policy-to-practice gap and proves impact on safety, capacity, and cost. She’s particularly focused on high-risk, high-variation areas where confidence and performance can drift—medication safety, device reprocessing, infection prevention, fall risk, EHR change management, new nurse onboarding, and preceptor development.

“Really anywhere confidence and performance can drift, we can impact clinical education outcomes and reduce preventable harm,” Corrie emphasizes.

The Challenges Ahead

When asked about the biggest challenges facing clinical education today, Corrie doesn’t hesitate: workforce volatility, educator shortages, and the imperative to do less with more.

“Nurse turnover and educator scarcity puts pressure on onboarding and competencies; at the same time, organizations are tackling higher workloads and burnout,” she explains. “Education must be efficient, adaptive, and role-relevant—not a one-size-fits-all approach.”

Her perspective on effective clinical training has evolved throughout her career. She’s witnessed significant innovation in the learning space—from time-based competency trainings to simulation training and nurse residency programs. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of virtual simulation and eLearning, and hospitals are increasingly leveraging learning analytics and adaptive platforms to target “known unknowns” and Confidently Held Misinformation™.

“We’re getting more efficient in how we educate, and that’s necessary and exciting,” she says.

Building on a Legacy of Leadership

Perhaps the most impactful work of Corrie’s career has been developing future nursing leaders. “I was fortunate to have mentors who saw my potential early and opened doors,” she reflects. “I’ve tried to do the same by mentoring, offering encouragement and insight, and developing programs that grow clinical judgment, confidence, and communication. When a new leader believes they belong in the role and has a practical toolkit, the whole unit feels it.”

This commitment to empowering others extends to her advice for clinical leaders looking to innovate their training programs: “Start small and measurable. Pick one high-impact workflow, define 3-4 outcome metrics, run a pilot. Keep what works, drop what doesn’t. Bring educators and frontline champions into design early.”

Strengthening the Healthcare Alliance Community

Corrie is eager to deepen connections within the Healthcare Alliance Community, which includes more than 35 health systems representing over 700 acute hospitals and 2 million employees.

“We are surrounded by a Healthcare Alliance Community of leading Health Systems doing some amazing learning through the platform that’s really moving the needle in many areas,” she says. “I want us to learn together and celebrate these accomplishments. We’ll spotlight member wins, open-source practical templates, and align learning analytics that impact outcomes.”

Her goal is to convene peers around shared metrics, Confidently Held Misinformation reduction, time-to-competency, and incident trends post-training, creating a collaborative environment where best practices flow freely and every member benefits from collective wisdom.

Beyond the Badge

Outside of work, Corrie gravitates toward activities that bring people together. She cherishes family time and thrives on exciting travel adventures and outdoor activities, biking, hiking with her dogs, skiing, surfing, tennis, and CrossFit. “I’m not a sit down and watch TV person,” she laughs.

What Success Looks Like

For Corrie, measuring success in clinical education comes down to outcomes that matter: time-to-competency, completion time, post-training incident and near-miss trends, policy-to-practice adherence, and cost impacts.

“For leaders, I translate that into hours returned to care, harm events avoided, and readiness for surveys and regulatory checks,” she explains.

And what does she wish more people understood about the complexity of workforce development? “That it’s not one-size-fits-all. We need to meet people where they are by role, experience, and confidence. We need to respect the realities of shift work and capacity. The ‘most efficient’ program is the one people can actually finish and apply to practice.”

Welcome to the team, Corrie. We’re excited to have your clinical expertise, operational insight, and passion for measurable impact guiding our work with healthcare organizations across the nation. Here’s to delivering safer care, faster—together.

Taking AI Authoring to the Next Level: See What’s New 

Since launching AI authoring capabilities, we’ve been listening to feedback from instructional designers and learning professionals about what works—and what could work even better. The response has been clear: while AI assistance has already transformed many aspects of course creation, there’s still room to make the entire process more intuitive, collaborative, and outcome-focused. 

That’s why we’re excited to share the major updates in Version 8.0 of Amplifire Authoring, Powered by AI—enhancements that build on what you love while addressing the gaps you’ve identified.

Major Enhancements in AI Authoring

Building on the solid foundation of our existing AI authoring capabilities, Version 8.0 introduces significant improvements that give you more control and better course creation from start to finish.

Enhanced Flexibility: AI When You Want It, Full Control When You Don’t

Flexible AI Usage: The biggest update addresses one of the most common requests—complete control over AI involvement. Authors can now opt out of AI tools at any stage while maintaining full functionality for end-to-end course planning. Whether you want AI assistance throughout the entire process or prefer to handle certain sections manually, the choice is entirely yours.

End-to End Enhancements: Generate comprehensive course outlines, specific learning objectives aligned with performance outcomes and identify common learner mistakes before they derail progress all from just a topic or brief description. You maintain complete creative control while the AI eliminates writer’s block, allowing you to accept suggestions, modify them to fit your context, or use them as creative inspiration. What once took days or weeks of planning now happens in minutes, freeing you to focus on creating engaging, effective learning experiences. Enable faster course launches while maintaining the quality and expertise your learners deserve.

“It would have taken us months of additional work with everything we would have had to sift through. I feel the platform is pretty darn intuitive. It’s really kind of plug and play. Being able to create and refine essentially the entire course has been borderline a miracle.” – Devan Berkley, Senior Training Specialist, End User Adoption | UW Medicine

Advanced AI Guardrails: Version 8.0 introduces intelligent guardrails and coverage analysis that work behind the scenes to ensure quality and accuracy throughout the development process. The AI doesn’t just generate content it actively monitors for gaps, inconsistencies, and quality issues. Improved visibility into source coverage and bult-in content verification for trusted, accurate course development.

Transforming Good Courses into Exceptional Learning Experiences: Creating effective training content is just the starting point—the real breakthrough comes in the refinement process that transforms good courses into exceptional learning experiences. Amplifire’s enhanced AI Authoring platform shines in this critical phase by providing improvements through real-time content analytics that identify potential learner confusion before it occurs, optimize difficulty and pacing based on proven patterns, and highlight which elements drive the strongest retention outcomes.

The platform’s enhanced SME collaboration features streamline the entire development workflow with contextual feedback, real-time alerts that keep teams aligned, and version control that prevents conflicting edits. This approach fundamentally changes the traditional course development cycle. The result is a more efficient development process that delivers superior learning outcomes from day one.

What These Updates Mean for Your Daily Workflow

More Efficient Content Creation
Enhancing AI assistance eliminates writer’s block more effectively while giving you granular control over the level of AI involvement. Generate course objectives and outlines with AI support, then seamlessly transition to manual editing when you want complete creative control.

Higher Quality Output with Less Effort
Advanced guardrails work in the background to catch potential issues before they become problems. Coverage analysis ensures your courses meet learning objectives, while quality checks maintain consistency across all content.

Better Visibility into Content Performance
Enhanced analytics provide actionable insights into how your courses are performing, helping you make data-driven improvements that boost learning outcomes.

The Evolution Continues

The enhancements in Version 8.0 don’t replace the fundamental strengths that made AI authoring valuable in the first place. Instead, they build on that foundation to create a more flexible, collaborative, and reliable experience. You still get the time-saving benefits of AI assistance, the science-based learning modules informed by 5 billion+ learner interactions, and access to over 120 peer-reviewed templates—now with better control, improved collaboration, and stronger quality assurance.

As AI technology continues to advance, we remain focused on one core principle: empowering instructional designers and learning professionals to create better courses more efficiently. This version brings us closer to that goal by giving you the tools you need while preserving the creative control and professional judgment that make great learning experiences possible.
